Some servers are running .49B, while others are running plain .49. You may be trying to log on to server that is using .49b. TC:E has stopped linking out the .49B patch due to a big bug, but if you look for it I'm sure you can find it.

But how do I find which version of the client I have and what version the server is running.

There are no instructions I believe. Just unzip it into your tcetest folder. After, make sure it didn't make a duplicate tcetest inside your main tcetest folder. If it did, just copy the contents into your main tcetest folder and voila.

Yep I found it. After going thru all this I hope this game is as good as has been described. I downloaded it a month ago and still have not been able to pay it yet.

I know this is a FREE game. I know that probably no one is getting PAID to develope this game. I know all the reponses and effort here is purely volunteer. But that being said.

There had GOT to be a better way to distrubute your game.

I first started downloading this game back at the end of NOVEMBER. I manage a network of 35 computers. I do not claim to be the most brilliant techical person but I have been using computers since I built my first ALTAIR from a kit in the mid 70s.

The process of getting this program to work is confusing to me I an imagine how it is for a casual computer user. After fighting with the download and ports and ET and getting the correct versions. Finally I find out I need a patch. OK I have to go thru SIX screen to get to the point where I can actually save the patch on my hard drive. Then I open up the zip file and there are no instructions on how to install it. I see files that I THINK are for a Machintosh and some that I THINK are for linux. But NOTHING that directly instructs how to apply the patch to a windows installation. Just and aside. When I read the .rtf file in the zip it talks about and "Applications" directory or folder. Well windows computers do not have any such thing. MOST programs reside in the Program Files folder.

Guys I am sure that this is a great game but after a month of trying to get it to work and never being able to get past the menus screens I am really debating if its worth the effort.
